changes to UK copyright law

[Paul Jones]

Have you ever uploaded a photo to the Internet, Facebook, Instagram or Flickr?
If so, you'll probably want to read this, because the rules on who can exploit your work have now changed radically, overnight.

UK Government passes "Instagram Act" - All your photos could be used by everyone now...

If you don't want anyone using your photographs you are advised to clearly watermark any images that you post online.

It seems Ocober 2013 is the date when everything changes. Nobody wants to pay for creative work any more, but it seems we either withdraw everything and become hermits or grin and bear it. I'm not planning on making any changes to what I do for the forseeable future.
